New Uniforms? Summo on Redskins.com!

[SBXVII]

It's funny. Some are still stuck in the past and some are looking for the future.

I wonder which age group chooses the old look and which chooses a new look? Count me as an older fan looking for change.

26 wanting the logo and colors to stay, if they want to freshen it up that's fine

An updated look is needed. Yeah I think the Skins have the coolest uniforms now, but it is a new era and a fresh look will do us some good. Thing is all those great memories of SB glories past with the uniforms are just that, memories that are almost two decades old now. Time for a change!!!!!

I have looked at Summo's again. I take it back about the Rs on the sleeves, nice extra touch. Kudos to Summo!!!!! Hopefully they have a contest for it and he gets season tickets for his design.

Screw season tickets. The winner should easily get a cut from jersey sales. What do teams pay companies to design new uniforms?

I like the idea of the yellow pants with the burgundy tops. So my vote is the helmets and pants in the second set, and Sumos jerseys.

Not to be a homer but I do like Summo's the best. I think the one thing simply cannot change it is the logo on the helmet. Summo stayed true there and I like it. The work on the jersey's it subtle enough but right in line with the latest jersey's. Me likey.

I'm a fan of these, but I like the classic look... just no more burgandy on burgandy, BAD LOOK!

[Summo]

I just wanted to modernize the current uniform without going overboard. As I said before they have one of the classic logos and unis in the history of the NFL. If they are going to change they should be looking ahead not back i.e. the spear logo. I like the spear very much but it should be kept with the throw back uni's.

I also wanted to include the script "R" on the jersey. That logo has only been used on sideline apparel and never as part of the uniform. But I didn't want to over do it with logos.

There are two examples that I wanted to avoid with this design. The first being the Ravens. They have one logo on their helmet, a second on their sleeve and a third on their pants! It logo overload!!

The second is the Panthers, they have the same logo on their helmet, sleeve and pants and it looks ridiculous!

As for getting recognition form the team over the design, I doubt it. It probably won’t go any further then it already has. If they change the uni’s it will probably be something similar but it will be a little different from mine so that way they protect them selves from some fan claiming that they designed it, like the situation the Ravens had over their original helmet logo. Thanks to all for the kind comments.

No I dind't win or even place. A steeler fan living in Kentucky won. He sang a song as a Steeler zombie because his wife turned off his NFL Sunday ticket. I have a new plan for next years video that hopefully place.

That video sucked. I'm not sure that I could have done better but someone could have.

I like the burgundy on burgundy look.. it definitely doesn't come from the results that we had in them though

[MTK]

I don't want a drastic change, just a "refreshening" would be nice though.

Make sure you get money if they even incorporate it. Intellectual property my friend.
